    8 year old looking for "simple" drills and tips

    Having read these posts does one thing for me... brings back many many great memories when my DD started to learn, some of the best bonding time my DD and myself have had and I wouldn't trade any of it for anything. When my DD started it was the most boring time the flip drills over and over and...

    How often to Pract. Pitching??

    My DD throws twice a week for about hour and a half each practice, rest of the week batting practice and strength and conditioning and I want her to take time off to do friends and other girls stuff, seems to have worked good so far.

    Rise Ball- Thought we had it

    My 15yr old DD just started to learn the rise and as she was working the drills most went about 10ft over my head,lol, but she threw a couple that nearly hit me in the mouth mostly I was not familiar with the pitch and had no idea what was going to happen, I figured it was just a high fast ball...

    hip pain

    My DD has the same issue, she is very strong in the hips due to years of gymnastics and our sports trainers who are very respected state wide told me it is the ligament in the hip that slips over the bone causing a pop and can be painful and it is both for my DD. The trainer basically said not...

    What pitches should my DD throw?

    My DD is 15 and has been pitching for 4 1/2 years and she just started to learn the screw and curve this past year, the first 2 years was just learning how to pitch consistent and she still works on that today. Fastball is all she learned in the beginning , hitting the 4 corners takes a long...

    Curve

    My DD is throwing a 2 seam fast ball but it may be different then yours, my DD has the 2-3 fingers on the narrow seams and it acts like a drop, but she throws it like a fast ball, she likes it cause she can throw a fast safe pitch without it hanging in the zone it has a nice slow drop that is...

    Curve

    She is an amazing pitcher period.

    Curve

    I have seen his videos on Fast Pitch Tv and allot of what he says makes sense, but the drop curve actually has been an easier pitch to learn for her plus my daughter likes throwing them against righty's, it was her most effective pitch this past summer. I think she was able to change speeds on...

    Curve

    She throws a screw and right now it is in development but looking better, nice pitch that tails away from righty's. Not sure what the inside curve or backdoor curve is, my knowledge of pitchers and pitching are limited, to say the least.

    Curve

    I enjoy the debate on this site those of us that really put allot of effort into our daughter's playing softball find allot of valuable advice here, my next question; My daughter is a lefty, she is 15 learning the curve and struggling with that pitch, how important is the curve and to lefty...

    Toe drag

    My daughters new pitching coach picked up on the hop and started her on the "stork drill" hope that is right,lol but working in the gym tonight without a pitching rubber made it more difficult but the new pc is using the towel also, according to her she thinks it is an easy fix just takes time...

    Toe drag

    I want to thank everyone for the advice and hopefully I can get her on video, I do think that her push off is the problem, when she goes into the wind up and then the push off I notice her foot stay flat as if it was on the rubber and her momentum forward brings the back foot up off the ground...

    Toe drag

    New poster long time reader here, my daughter developed a leaping problem when she pitches, I don't think it is a crow hop but the back leg will come off the rubber and will come off the ground just slightly but it seems that her release and the back foot touch at the same time, her last...
